"Mum, Dad, I have good news," Alice running into her parent's room without permission. "What is it dear? Alice's mother, Chelsea, asked. Ana just called, she said there is a job opening at her place of work, she submitted my application and I was selected to come for an interview," Alice said. "I thought Ana worked in Texas, has she gotten a job in Georgia?" Chelsea asked. "No she still works in Texas," Alice said. "So what you are saying is that the job opening is in Texas and you will have to move there?" Alice's dad, Darlington, asked.
"Yes dad," Alice said. "No way dear, there is no way I'm allowing you move out, your current job is okay," Darlington said. "Dad you know my current job is really stressful, my senior are a pain in the neck and the pay is not good but if I get this job, I'm sure it will be good, I will be able to help out more with the expenses at home and I will get more exposure, I browsed up the company and it's among the top ten in Texas," Alice said trying to convince her father.
"My dear you are still to young to leave far away from us and you can look for a better job here, I can even help you," Darlington said. "Dad, stop being like this, this job is a good opportunity and you know that, I am turning 25 in my the next four months, I'm no longer a kid, I think i have the right to move out if I want to," Alice said. "My dear, your dad is right, staying alone is not easy," Chelsea said.
"I am not a kid, I can handle myself, you both have kept me locked up in this house for too long, you didn't even let me stay in hostel when i was in college, I had to go to school from home, I'm old enough to know what's best for me," Alice said and stormed out of her parent's bedroom, slamming the door as she went.
When Alice got to her room she called her best friend, Ana. "Sup girl, tell me when are you coming?" Ana asked. "My parents didn't give me their permission," Alice said. "Oh, what will you do now, this job is a good opportunity for you," Ana said. "I know, I'm still moving whether they give me their permission or not," Alice said.
"Are you sure girl, you would be putting a rift between you and your family," Ana said. "I know but I'm done letting them take all the decisions in my life, I will take the job it's good for me," Alice said. "Hmm, okay just let me know when you are coming so I will pick you up at the airport," Ana said. "Okay bye," Alice said and hanged up.
Alice stayed in her room refusing to come out even for dinner, she was angry at her parents, this wasn't the only time they stopped her from doing something because it was far from home and she was tired, she already made up her mind this time, she will go to Texas whether they like it or not.
Alice was woken up early the next day by her parents who wanted to speak with her. "Mum, Dad, we can talk later, I still want to sleep," Alice said covering herself with the duvet. "My dear, let's talk we have something to tell you," Chelsea said. Alice grudgingly sat up, itching her eyes. "What is it, it's so early," Alice said.
"Alice my dear, your dad and I talked we agreed to let you go to Texas, you can take the job offer," Chelsea said. "Really," Alice said widening her eyes in shock. "Yes dear, we are sorry for keeping you locked in this house, we are just scared you won't be able to handle the outside world on your own," Darlington said.
"As you said, you will be twenty-five soon, you are already a young woman and as your parents we shouldn't force all our decisions on you, as your parents we will guide you and lead you on the right path, so my dear you are free to chase after your dreams," Chelsea said. "Mum, Dad, Alice said and hugged her parents.
"I'm sorry for being rude to the both of you yesterday," Alice said. "It's okay my dear," Darlington said patting her head. "So when is the interview?" Chelsea asked. "On Tuesday," Alice said. "Tuesday, you have only three days to left, " Darlington said. "Yes dad," Alice said. "That's so sudden, go freshen up I will help you pack your stuff," Chelsea saidand left the room with Darlington.
"Are you sure we are making the right decision, letting her go out of your protection?" Darlington asked. "I don't know but we can't let our daughter suffer for our past, if the vision come to past the so be it, we can't forever run away from our destiny," Chelsea said. Darlington sighed defeated seeing there is nothing else he can say.
Alice called Ana immediately her parents left the room. "Good morning, how are you doing?" Ana asked. "I have good news," Alice said. "What is it?" Ana asked. "My parents gave their permission to move to Texas, I'm flying to Texas tomorrow," Alice said excitedly. "They did!" Ana exclaimed. "Yes I was also surprised," Alice said.
"That's nice, I'm so happy, we will get to live together for a while and do crazy stuff like we used to do back in college," Ana said. "I miss those too, when I come you will give me a first class tour of the city," Alice said. "I will, I promise but I got to go, I was working on something before you called," Ana said.
"Okay bye," Alice said. "Before entering the plane tomorrow tell me when you will land at Texas so I can come pick you at the airport, Bye," Ana said and hanged up.

"Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."
